Jonathan Pinnock

Tom Winscombe is having a bad day. Trapped at the top of the tallest building in Minsk while a lethal battle between several mafia factions plays out beneath him, he contemplates the sequence of events that brought him here, starting with the botched raid on a secretive think tank and ending up in the middle of the Chernobyl exclusion zone. More importantly, he wonders how he's going to get out of this alive when the one person who can help is currently not speaking to him. Join Tom and a cast of disreputable and downright dangerous characters in this witty thriller set in a murky world of murder, mystery and complex equations.

We follow Tom Winscombe in his fourth adventure doomed to go wrong.
I read part three last year as an ARC and was delighted by book 1&2, before reading three.
I do recommend btw to read part 1-3 first. While Jonathan does little summaries of what happens the previous three books are well worth the read and I finished all four in two weeks.
Because I just read 1-3, there was a little more summary than I liked, then again this makes it possible to read it as a standalone book.
The things Tom gets into are very over-the-top, but intriguing and fun. A British kind of Carl Hiaasen story, where you never really know who the good guys and the bad guys are.
Love the strong female leads (that pass the Bechdel test).
If you want to read a silly, nerve wrecking, exciting adventure this is the book for you.
